Washington’s new City Administrator began his duties yesterday. Brent Hinson was hired over the summer to replace Dave Plyman who had been with Washington for ten years. He says he has enjoyed getting a chance to talk and meet with a number of people and is excited to be a part of what is happening in Washington.

Hinson says besides the goals of looking at the financial condition of the city, he has a goal of enhancing communication with the city and within the “city organization” as well as improve the amount of planning that goes on.

Hinson comes to Washington from Garner where he was the City Administrator for over six years.
